Did you you play them?
Did you enjoy them?
Did you Master them?

If you were to pick them up now would you have the reflex and skill to dominate Liberty City again or has the game industry made you too soft?

Myself, I liked them a lot.
Especially the Radio channel they brought the atmosphere to the factions - GTA2.
The first GTA felt rough the city felt unforgiving and it was typical of the era of games we grew up with at the time.

Both games I had without the maps, so like every gaming enthusiast in history the brain worked on it until it was instinctively built in with super reflex that would make a cat question its existence.

Could I master them now?
Probably not the first.
If I recall the GTA2 was more forgiving or my sk1lz had carried over.

GTa IV was a favourite for car chases and that one probably rivals the GTA1 and 2 for me just switching it on just to start a mega car chase.
-Otherwise didnt care much for IV.

Your thoughts on the original GTA 1 and 2?

I have them, but didn't played them enough to understand what made them good. I bought them years after release.
They are probably good games if you spend a lot of time on them and actually understand what made them good, because you spend a lot of time on them.

I am just not good at playing them. That's the problem.

GTA 2 was the best in the 2D, they should make another one in the same style

I gave them a shot for an hour or so but yeah its not for me.

Having a lot of playable characters caught me off guard though, that's cool.

----But that IS THE GAME!---- or...
Pay attention to the instructions like 'get to the phone ' and follow the arrow and read the instructions when you get there.

I forgot you could choose your character.

I played it on the console and not on PC I heard the PC got a lot of rage for glitches.
GTA 3 , that was a journey. Again Loved the atmosphere and Radio. 'O no Lazlo its lovely' 'Freddy wants a Nanny!' and of course that dude with the Feng Shui thing.
and...Lazlo : 'Don't you think....' reply 'No! Not EVER!' (or was that VC?) - reminds me of OT.

I really hope they do.
The amount of content they could put into it and more factions really would juice it.

They were a challenge to play for me the reflex mastery.
Other games were good but this was a free roaming open world game and I really liked that.
I liked the slight rush I got at the screen speeding and the sharp turns and the mayhem happening around me while i survived as long as I could.
It did take me some time to 'get good'.
When I first saw it at a friends house I was not all that impressed.
But when I could sit down and focus it grew on me.

I played it but couldn't really enjoy, first was GTA3 which is way too big of a leap to come back from.

I must admit I thought the night-time lighting in GTA 2 for the PC was surprisingly nice though

Gta 1 was way too hard.
The london 69 addon was better. So was 2.

3 was the big one.

Exactly. Playing games is like playing a piano; It's just not fun to play or listen to, if one hasn't taken enough time to practice.

I am not disagreeing.
The fun is in the practice and building those 5k1lz. - piano player here too.

Coming from the reflex era of what games were to the more people friendly enjoy the experience of the environment - the original GTA I can see why it could be unpopular.

If I played now I would have to re-calibrate.
Do I play the 40k Horus card game sit back to play.
Do I enter Mordheim where it is very tactical and take as long as you want.
Do I play GTA and prepare to experience Mortality? - with little graphical reward and just feel punished until I get 5k1lz again which would take some time. Modern gaming has made me soft.
